Relative expression of apoptosis proteins and cardiomyocyte viability. After 40 min anoxia, cardiomyocytes were subjected to HRI. At the end of reoxygenation, expression of apoptosis proteins was determined by Western blot, and cardiomyocyte viability was determined by fluorimetry. (a) Relative expression of Bax ( in each group). , #, △. (b) Relative expression of Bcl-2 ( in each group). , #, △. (c) Change of cardiomyocyte viability ( in each group). , #, △. HRI: hypoxia reoxygenation injury; : compared with the N2 group; #: compared with the HR group; △: compared with the U2 group.
